Why this family dinner feels so cozy
The raclette grill sits in the middle with its little pans, and dad, mom and three boys are gathered around it. Two of the kids are already holding their pans. The table has bowls of potatoes, plates and glasses of water. The sticker style with its thick white outline keeps every shape big and clear – perfect for little hands.

Where does raclette come from?
Raclette comes from Switzerland. Long ago, herders held a big wheel of cheese close to the fire and scraped off the melted part. The French word “racler” actually means “to scrape.” Today many families have a tabletop grill with tiny pans, and everyone fills their own with potatoes, veggies and cheese. In Germany, raclette is one of the most popular New Year's Eve meals because everyone sits together for hours. The grill gets very hot, so grown-ups help the little ones.
